Hi all, I wish to generate a sequence of the form 'aaa', 'aab', aac'.... 'aba', 'abb', 'abc' etc. all the way to 'zzz'.
How would you construct a generator to acheive this? A simple, working but somewhat inelegant solution is... alpha = ['a','b','c','d'] #shortened for brevity alpha2 = ['a','b','c','d'] alpha3 = ['a','b','c','d'] def generator(): for char in alpha: for char2 in alpha2: for char3 in alpha3: yield char + char2 + char3 x = generate() x.next() # etc, etc, etc, -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
